MANA and TE HAMUA on the rise

“Last night’s TVNZ poll confirms what we’ve
been hearing on the streets for months” said MANA Leader
and MP for Te Tai Tokerau Hone Harawira. “That MANA is on
the up”.

“MANA’s appeal is simple because our
policies are simple – feed the kids, jobs for mum and dad
and decent housing for the whanau. Those are the issues our
people face every day and that’s our focus – simple
solutions to everyday problems. And clearly that’s what
people have responded to”.

“The poll also said that if
there was an election today, MANA would go back into the
house with two seats”.

“That’s great news for our
Ikaroa Rawhiti candidate Te Hamua Nikora because he’s
primed and ready to go. Te Hamua is well known, he’s known
to speak from the heart, he’s got a great sense of humour
(essential in this job!) and he connects easily with
ordinary people”.

“If the TVNZ poll holds true,
Parliament will be rockin’ with Te Hamua in just over a
month. Can’t
wait!”
